I'm not much of a chicken fan, but obviously, I need to eat it. Does anyone have a good, healthily recipe where the chicken doesn't taste so bland without all the sodium of spices or broths?

    There are alot of good recipes on skinnytaste.com or emilybites.com. I love chicken but agree that unless you season it or put it in something it is very bland. Search some of the recipes on those sites though. I love them! They are low calorie and every recipe i have made has been delicious!

    Oh and GIna from skinnytaste.com makes alot of her own dressings, sauces and broths so that helps with the sodium alot! Hope this helps!

    I'm not entirely sure you "need" to eat chicken but I'll also throw in another vote for skinnytaste.com

    Here's an easy one, and it's really good.

    3-4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
    2 good sized lemons (or 3 small ones)
    about 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn or cut in strips
    2-3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    olive oil

    Preheat the oven to 350. Place the chicken in a baking dish. Top with garlic slices, then torn basil leaves. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon (or one whole lemon, if they're small) over everything. Slice the remaining lemon and place the slices on top of the chicken. Then drizzle with a little olive oil, about a tablespoon. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.

    Add some rice and a salad. Dinner is served, yum!

    Why do you need to eat it? If you don't like it don't put it in your mouth. its really very simple.

    Nothing says you HAVE to eat chicken. Liver is very healthy but I'm not eating it.

    Spices are not usually chock full of sodium. They can be an excellent way of incorporating flavor to a dish without adding sodium. You do have to watch out for some of the mixes but there are plenty of options that are sodium free.

    I like this recipe: http://hilahcooking.com/spatchcock-chicken/

    If you'd rather not cook a whole chicken, you can just use the spice rub on whatever pieces of chicken you like. It also goes well with seafood and vegetables.

    Really though, no one says you HAVE to eat chicken if you honestly don't like it.

    Edit: forgot to mention, you could reduce the amount of salt if you're watching your sodium, or reduce/omit the cayenne if you don't want it to be so spicy, etc.
